Peta's Review

One of Australia's finest poets, Kinsella explores the dilemma of how to "write" about place, without "claiming" the place.

Truly evocative of the land, the people and place, especially WA.

'John Kinsella, like his precursor Ashbery, is astonishingly fecund and inventive.' — Harold Bloom
